Ciabatta.
Chuck's Ciabatta. Mine too. It turned out much better than the poor picture shows. I couldn't manage to 'pose' the ciabatta to my liking. There must have been more than 2 dozen attempts on my camera! And yes, this, was the best of the worst. Ah well, good thing our taste buds aren't so picky.
The interior crumb has a good many irregular holes (as a good ciabatta should) but I couldn't help but wish for MORE of them and some larger ones as well. I'm fairly satisfied with Chuck and I's first attempt at ciabatta.
I have one loaf left and I'm thinking of splitting it for a giant meatball sub for Rick and I to split for dinner tomorrow. All the smallish holes should help catch the sauce quite well--and the the lack of larger holes should prevent messy drips. IF I don't first slice it up and fry it in a bit of butter to go alongside some eggs for breakfast!
